trailex Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Pablo you are the man, one q for this diesel mechanic / web page wacker and wannabe oscommerce trouble shooter. In your install instructions it says to: "Process the paypalipn.sql file. A good and secure way to process that file is using phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net). You can also process it with the mysql console." I use mysql to do alot of things, but I am not sure about what to do here. I am pretty new to this stuff, having beat my head around abit for the last couple of months, getting everything configured and today realized I am not getting the information from my customers orders, on what they ordered, low and behold Pablo came up with a solution I just need a small point in the right direction to get this thing off the ground. How? were? do I start in getting this data were it needs to be for this module to operate :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Trailex, could you help me out here since you've figured out that vague install file? How exactly do I "process the sql" file in phpMyAdmin? What is the URL I should put in for the IPN stuff in my PayPal account? Thanks if you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailex aka Doug :rolleyes: OK, I installed it and it's working--sort of. Made up a test item worth 1 penny, created an account at my website then bought the item. The payment selection is called PayPal IPN. Selected that as payment method. This took me straight to PayPal with all the information prefilled. All I had to do was sign up for a PayPal account and pay for the order. I then received an email from PayPal stating that I had paid 1 penny to the store, and 1 email to me (as the store owner). Problems: 1.) In each email, the item name was the name of my store. lol. The item quantity was listed correctly, but the item number was not: it did not read the correct model number. 2.) In admin, under Orders, there is NOTHING. In PayPal IPN transactions, there is NOTHING. lol. And, if I search through the database-->orders_products-->browse, I see the items ordered and that a certain customer made orders, but there is NO WAY to tell which customer ordered what. None of the important details are transmitted to the emails either (other than name, address, and transaction id). Sigh... Guess I'm going to have to do some more tinkering? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
